Mohamed Ouahbi, the current technical director of the youth categories, is emerging as the designated successor. A UEFA Pro graduate who went through the Anderlecht academy, he enjoys the full confidence of the federal office thanks to his solid academic training and his in-depth knowledge of the national pool of talents.
Ouahbi’s track record speaks in his favor after leading Morocco to the historic world champion title against Argentina in Chile. This success reflects his ability to "rise to the challenge and turn ambition into concrete results" for national football.
